"I've wanted to work with Paulina for years and Kelly did the UK show for me and did a brilliant job. So, it was a very easy decision to put these three together and you hope it's going to work and they're going to get on well. And luckily they did."

And apparently Demi is feeling the love like never before as she added:

"The whole cast this year, there's something really special about it. And when we come together I feel it’s actually a family, which is actually so rare and I feel like it never happens, especially on these shows."

Awww, we think we got a cavity just reading that!

But we sure hope Simon still brings his sassy, eye-rolling attitude with him this season!

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
